Really? I’ve seen fiber being a nice treat only in some locations. Most of them are pushing 1gig with 10gig as the new option in select areas. I haven’t heard of any 100g broad rollout as a residential connection. Heck, who can even utilize that pipe? Besides a distributed mesh type network, I think even your best CDN’s can’t dedicate more than 10g (maybe 1) to a single client. Besides, what would that cost? Holy smokes.

I need a connection that warrants a 100g firewall.

Also, cost. If I want 18 TB of data accessible from my phone or someone else’s house, how would you do that and not cost a ton of money? I can repurpose old thin clients and I needed the space anyway, so yeah.

Don’t forget, for selfhosters, the value proposition of free is always pretty strong. I have tiers of data and not everything needs to be super private at all times.

Depends what you’re putting on there. If it’s some blog that’s out there for the world to see, and if you’d like to have more traffic checking it out, then privacy isn’t your goal. Now your personal data, yeah that’s different. I have that stuff segregated.
